Best Steak Restaurants in Long Grove

Outstanding Italian cuisine. Great atmosphere and service was exceptionally good!

We came up to Eddie Merlot’s last night to celebrate Valentine’s Day with my beautiful wife. Sat at the bar and had a wonderful evening with Sue & Antonio.  Eddie Merlots was as busy as I’ve ever seen it and yet the food came out on time and the service was fantastic! Sue & Antonio they never let you see them sweat!! Tim The general manager, stopped by just to make sure that our evening was meeting the standards. The hostess handed my wife, a beautiful rose, which she loved and cherished. Such a nice touch on Eddie Merlot’s part. I’m telling you you won’t go wrong if you go to Eddie Merlot’s and ask for Sue & Antonio. 

Seated quickly; super friendly, impeccable and attentive service; wonderful value, both hubby’s steak and my salmon were substantial and cooked to perfection. Getting soup AND salad is a blast from the past and gives Jameson’s a step up from the rest! The love music was a fun touch. Neighborhood treasure we need to frequent more often!

Our first time trying Rosebud Wheeling and it was mostly impressive! The prices( as with most restaurants like this) are too steep! Be selective as to not over do it! The only disappointment was the complimentary rolls! Two rather basic dinner rolls dressed up in glossy oil or melted butter with flecks of parsley! Tasteless! I think given the upper level caliber of this establishment- Rosebud should do better or don’t bother! This was a very cheap opening to our meal!

We enjoyed the Valentines Day menu including bison meatballs, tomato & onion salad, petite filets, mashed potatoes , & chocolate cake! All were accompanied with a California red wine blend. Note to mgr: please put that tomato, onion & blue cheese salad on the regular menu… it was a winner! All food was cooked to perfection. Our server, Stacie, did an excellent job…courteous & fun! Even though it was a busy night, the service & food did not disappoint.
